Hi, my 3 week old ds has been spitting up lots more than usual and shrieking the house down after feeding recently - not like her normal self. Just been to see the doctor as I was worried that it was reflux, but they think it's more likely that she's overfeeding. So I need to see if feeding her less helps. Thing is that it's easier said than done (she's breastfed) as she seems to be constantly rooting when she's awake, and when she's having a screaming fit, the only way to quiet her seems to be by offering her a breast (dummies don't seem to work during these episodes). I've had to reluctantly start giving her a dummy at other times, but has anyone got any other tips that would help stop overfeeding?
